Abutilon guineense is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae.[3] It has a broad distribution in Africa and has been introduced elsewhere.[2] It may comprise more than one species, with others yet undescribed. In China it occurs in Hainan, Sichuan, and Yunnan.[3]

Abutilon guineense was originally described by Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher in 1829 as Sida guineensis. Two varieties are accepted:[2][3]

  • Abutilon guineense. var. guineense — calyx bell-shaped, petals approximately 18 mm (0.71 in) long, staminal column smooth
  • Abutilon guineense var. forrestii (S.Y.Hu) Y.Tang — calyx disk-shaped, petals 6 mm (0.24 in) long, staminal column stellate-hairy
